Tell me why it's even worth owning this console?

You should try playing/using something before you judge it. Just a tip from real people who can base opinions on things without jumping to conclusions...

It is like judging a movie becuase someone else said that someone elses said it was bad so you should take that as your opinion. No one should have to list a bunch of games coming out.

I think the real reason to own the console is what you said, if you enjoy those games like mario, zelda, metroid, pikmin, bayonetta, any retro studio games like DKC, star fox, Rayman or any other potential Nintendo/property maybe you should look into getting it. It is only $300.

If not, well then don't get it. Stop judging something you haven't even touched.

Not really trolling, I'm asking a serious question in my topic. Why even buy this thing if it will just collect dust until something maybe comes out later that's worth buying?

The new mario game is good. Like... Really good. I haven't had this much fun with one since Super Mario World, and that is saying something. Nintendo Land is fun, better with friends to play with. Scribblenauts is always fun to me. Rayman comes out in Feb and Monster Hunter in March. More through the year and despite what some people say there are 3rd party games coming out, do some research.

There are others out and this isn't my only other way to play games (PC). So usually other games that don't come to a system I get on PC. Personally I don't find any you listed appealing at all and Bioshock Infinite while it looks interesting is just taking too long, the hype is gone.

Since this game rely on micro transaction when people leave for mop this game will be I survive. - MageGuyInfinity

are not being ported to the WiiU, and from what I understand Crysis 3 and Battlefield 3 might not be ported either.

So what's the point of even buying this thing? For one, maybe two Zelda and Mario games that Nintendo likes to release each console generation? Hell, we haven't even seen a decent Metroid game in years. It seems like Nintendo is all about gimmicks anymore.

If all you really play are shooters, then honestly it really isn't worth you owning.

If Platinum was HAND drawn, she'd be on paper, fool. This is a video game. They just made her on screen, no "drawing" involved -Delano7 on BlazBlue

Because of the future? These types of topics really make me question some people as ALL newly launch consoles are like this were not all the game slated on the last generation ever gets ported to the new systems.

For me if you have either an Xbox360 or PS3, then it's worth owning a Wii U if you like the Nintendo franchises. Like it would make more sense to own one of those and a Wii U rather than a Xbox360 and PS3 cuz most of their games are same. I'm not getting an Xbox JUST for Halo and Gears of War, but I will get a Wii U for all the upcoming Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, and Super Smash games as well as any other new IPs it may get exclusivity to. I wouldn't dare have the Wii U as my only console, but it's an excellent complement to my PS3.

Exactly. And it will be posted time and time again until delusional fanboys accept the fact that Nintendo flopped again with this thing.

Trolling. Gotcha

no you pretty much admitted you were trolling, but if you want an answer here it is. its really only q1 games that are not coming to wii u cause devs may not have had the resources nor the time to make a pot to the wii u.
